Prime Boys: Tinted

The hip-hop trio from the 6ix head to the frozen wilds in this clip for their latest single. The setting suits their stone-cold flows and beats, and the rotation of the rhymers keeps things interesting.

Prime Boys: Tinted

By Kerry Doole

Prime Boys - "Tinted" (Entertainment One): Yesterday, the Toronto hip-hop trio released a video for this new single.


Directed by Elliot Clancy Osberg [Roy Woods], it features the group — Jimmy Prime, Donnie, and Jay Whiss — cruising on four wheelers through a wintry wonderland. Not the usual setting for a hip-hop clip, but it is a fitting backdrop for their stone-cold flows and beats.

Having rotating rappers deliver the rhymes works well, and there is plenty of bravado at work here ("all this money is contagious, we're doing shit for the ages"). The cut is produced by Murda Beatz [Drake, Gucci Mane], with customary authority.

In four years of putting out music together, Prime Boys have grabbed significant exposure via tracks like "I Heard" (473K YouTube views) and recent single "Come Wit It." They star in the Viceland documentary 6ix Rising and have earned support from Drake’s OVO Sound Radio.

Each member of Prime Boys has been busy with solo projects, and Jimmy Prime and Murda Beatz recently collaborated on another hot track, "Drop Out."

They're ready for the prime time indeed.

Drake Calls Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Defamatory In Updated UMG Lawsuit

Drake's lawyers say the halftime show aimed to "assassinate the character of another artist," but UMG calls the updated case the latest "absurd" move by the superstar.

Drake has filed an updated version of his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” claiming the rival’s Super Bowl halftime show was intended to “assassinate the character of another artist.”

In an amended complaint filed late Wednesday, Drake’s attorneys say the Super Bowl show, watched by 133 million people and “million of children”, “revitalized the public’s attention” to lyrics calling Drake a “certified pedophile” – a diss that the Canadian superstar claims is false and defamatory.
